Halloween fun
Just in time for Halloween, Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham presents “Blackhollow” from Oct. 23-Nov. 8.
This chilling one-woman thriller drags you deep inside a 19th-century criminal lunatic asylum, where the line between healer and monster begins to blur. Nurse Lucy Cull is devoted to her work and eager to prove herself, but when she becomes entangled in a series of radical medical experiments, something begins to stir.
As the procedures grow more dangerous and the nights more restless, Lucy finds herself caught between science and something that cannot be contained.
The show is part “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” and part Jane Eyre. “Blackhollow” is a haunting psychological descent that will crawl under your skin and linger long after the lights go out. It is not for the squeamish and is for mature audiences. Visit www.greaterbostonstage.org for tickets and information.
